fermi's paradox      
                          
                                          
 on  earth (the  planet  where i live)  a 
 lot  of  us have antennas  on our houses 
 or  balconies,  we   have  built   large 
 antennas for  larger  bandwith,  we have 
      build specialized antennaes for     
    specific wavelengths (and sent them   
 into orbit), we've built large  as  fuck 
              antenna arrays              
 we've  virtually built an antenna with a 
         dish as large as earth.          
                                          
 we've learned  about our position in the 
      solar system, our solar systems     
 placement   in  the   galaxy,  and   our 
 galaxys placement in  the local cluster, 
 and  our  local clusters  place in the 
          grand scheme of things          
                                          
 and  we're  moving  around  the  sun  at 
 velocity and  the suns moving around the 
 center  of the galaxy  at  velocity  and 
 the  galaxy  is moving toward  andromeda 
    and we're both moving anticlockwise   
 around  the  galaxy. and we as a species 
 have learned to take all that in account 
                                          
 and despite  all this, despite  all  our 
   (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar    
 radio  programmes out in  fucking  space 
 at the  speed  of  light (light  is  our 
  medium! goodspeed you, black emperor!), 
      despite ghosts helping and the      
     collective consciousness lowpass     
    filtering, despite our very obvious   
 beaming  of  all  our  secrets in  every 
          direction known to us,          
                                          
 no       one      has        answered

             so why is that?              
                                          
 most  opponents to intelligent  life  in 
 the universe say it's  because you  need 
 a class one-or-the-other  star  and  the 
 planet  needs  to  be  at  a  see-and-so 
 distance away  from the star (like there 
           has to be a planet!)           
                                          
 but   really  isn't  that   keeping  the 
      definition of life really lax?      
                                          
 i think everyone agrees that we have  no 
 idea  what we're  doing (and it probably 
                  shows)

 i'm  gonna  go smoke my  third cigarette 
 this year  and try to snatch  some beers 
         from the local beer thing
